1Elizabeth told her the motives of her secrecy. She had been unwilling to mention Bingley; and the unsettled state of her
2own feelings had made her equally avoid the name of his friend: but now she would no longer conceal from her his share
3in Lydia's marriage. All was acknowledged, and half the night spent in conversation. "Good gracious!" cried Mrs. Bennet,
4as she stood at a window the next morning, "if that disagreeable Mr. Darcy is not coming here again with our dear
5Bingley! What can he mean by being so tiresome as to be always coming here? I had no notion but he would go a-shooting,
6or something or other, and not disturb us with his company. What shall we do with him? Lizzy, you must walk out with him
7again, that he may not be in Bingley's way." Elizabeth could hardly help laughing at so convenient a proposal; yet was
8really vexed that her mother should be always giving him such an epithet. As soon as they entered, Bingley looked at her
9so expressively, and shook hands with such warmth, as left no doubt of his good information; and he soon afterwards said
10aloud, "Mrs. Bennet, have you no more lanes hereabouts in which Lizzy may lose her way again to-day?" "I advise Mr.
11Darcy, and Lizzy, and Kitty," said Mrs. Bennet, "to walk to Oakham Mount this morning. It is a nice long walk, and Mr.
12Darcy has never seen the view." "It may do very well for the others," replied Mr. Bingley; "but I am sure it will be too
13much for Kitty. Won't it, Kitty?" Kitty owned that she had rather stay at home. Darcy professed a great curiosity to see
14the view from the Mount, and Elizabeth silently consented. As she went upstairs to get ready, Mrs. Bennet followed her,
15saying,-- "I am quite sorry, Lizzy, that you should be forced to have that disagreeable man all to yourself; but I hope
16you will not mind it. It is all for Jane's sake, you know; and there is no occasion for talking to him except just now
17and then; so do not put yourself to inconvenience." During their walk, it was resolved that Mr. Bennet's consent should
18be asked in the course of the evening: Elizabeth reserved to herself the application for her mother's. She could not
19determine how her mother would take it; sometimes doubting whether all his wealth and grandeur would be enough to
20overcome her abhorrence of the man; but whether she were violently set against the match, or violently delighted with
21it, it was certain that her manner would be equally ill adapted to do credit to her sense; and she could no more bear
22that Mr. Darcy should hear the first raptures of her joy, than the first vehemence of her disapprobation. In the
23evening, soon after Mr. Bennet withdrew to the library, she saw Mr. Darcy rise also and follow him, and her agitation on
24seeing it was extreme. She did not fear her father's opposition, but he was going to be made unhappy, and that it should
25be through her means; that she, his favourite child, should be distressing him by her choice, should be filling him with
26fears and regrets in disposing of her, was a wretched reflection, and she sat in misery till Mr. Darcy appeared again,
27when, looking at him, she was a little relieved by his smile. In a few minutes he approached the table where she was
28sitting with Kitty; and, while pretending to admire her work, said in a whisper, "Go to your father; he wants you in the
29library." She was gone directly. Her father was walking about the room, looking grave and anxious. "Lizzy," said he,
30"what are you doing? Are you out of your senses to be accepting this man? Have not you always hated him?" How earnestly
31did she then wish that her former opinions had been more reasonable, her expressions more moderate! It would have spared
32her from explanations and professions which it was exceedingly awkward to give; but they were now necessary, and she
33assured him, with some confusion, of her attachment to Mr. Darcy. "Or, in other words, you are determined to have him.
34He is rich, to be sure, and you may have more fine clothes and fine carriages than Jane. But will they make you happy?"
35"Have you any other objection," said Elizabeth, "than your belief of my indifference?" "None at all. We all know him to
36be a proud, unpleasant sort of man; but this would be nothing if you really liked him." "I do, I do like him," she
37replied, with tears in her eyes; "I love him. Indeed he has no improper pride. He is perfectly amiable. You do not know
38what he really is; then pray do not pain me by speaking of him in such terms." "Lizzy," said her father, "I have given
39him my consent. He is the kind of man, indeed, to whom I should never dare refuse anything, which he condescended to
40ask. I now give it to you, if you are resolved on having him. But let me advise you to think better of it. I know your
41disposition, Lizzy. I know that you could be neither happy nor respectable, unless you truly esteemed your husband,
42unless you looked up to him as a superior. Your lively talents would place you in the greatest danger in an unequal
43marriage. You could scarcely escape discredit and misery. My child, let me not have the grief of seeing you unable to
44respect your partner in life. You know not what you are about." Elizabeth, still more affected, was earnest and solemn
45in her reply; and, at length, by repeated assurances that Mr. Darcy was really the object of her choice, by explaining
46the gradual change which her estimation of him had undergone, relating her absolute certainty that his affection was not
47the work of a day, but had stood the test of many months' suspense, and enumerating with energy all his good qualities,
48she did conquer her father's incredulity, and reconcile him to the match. "Well, my dear," said he, when she ceased
49speaking, "I have no more to say. If this be the case, he deserves you. I could not have parted with you, my Lizzy, to
50anyone less worthy." To complete the favourable impression, she then told him what Mr. Darcy had voluntarily done for
51Lydia. He heard her with astonishment. "This is an evening of wonders, indeed! And so, Darcy did everything; made up the
52match, gave the money, paid the fellow's debts, and got him his commission! So much the better. It will save me a world
53of trouble and economy. Had it been your uncle's doing, I must and would have paid him; but these violent young lovers
54carry everything their own way. I shall offer to pay him to-morrow, he will rant and storm about his love for you, and
55there will be an end of the matter." He then recollected her embarrassment a few days before on his reading Mr.
56Collins's letter; and after laughing at her some time, allowed her at last to go, saying, as she quitted the room, "If
57any young men come for Mary or Kitty, send them in, for I am quite at leisure." Elizabeth's mind was now relieved from a
58very heavy weight; and, after half an hour's quiet reflection in her own room, she was able to join the others with
59tolerable composure. Everything was too recent for gaiety, but the evening passed tranquilly away; there was no longer
60anything material to be dreaded, and the comfort of ease and familiarity would come in time. When her mother went up to
61her dressing-room at night, she followed her, and made the important communication. Its effect was most extraordinary;
62for, on first hearing it, Mrs. Bennet sat quite still, and unable to utter a syllable. Nor was it under many, many
63minutes, that she could comprehend what she heard, though not in general backward to credit what was for the advantage
64of her family, or that came in the shape of a lover to any of them. She began at length to recover, to fidget about in
65her chair, get up, sit down again, wonder, and bless herself.
